Extension Guidance
Development and Programming
Hi,
I’m in the progress of making my first extension and I believe I have successfully created all the trivial parts of the extension along with the settings function and lang file.
I figured that was a good time to stop and check whether I could see the extension appear on the extension list.
Unfortunately after numerous checks of code my extension does not appear on the list.
Am I required to completely finish the extension before I can do any testing?
Thanks
Make sure that your file name is the same as your php class and that the constructor also has the same name as your class name. That should do the trick.
If worst comes to worst try downloading one of my extensions that reflects what you want to do and check out the code.
Cheers Leevi
Also make sure that you have an info block near the end of the file. I could be wrong but without that then I don’t think the extension will show up in the list. I know that’s true for plugins so might be the same for extensions too.
Saying that I totally go with what Leevi said in that if you download one of his extensions then you will learn an awful lot as he is the master around here 😉
Best wishes,
Mark
Thanks for the help.
The file name and the class name were different, I did not realise this would make a difference.
All is well now.
Thanks
